Question

write an equation in slope intercept form for the line that passes through the given points
(5, -2), (-16, 4)
MEDALS WILL BE REWARDED !!!

Answer 1

y-mx+b and y2-y1/x2-x1

Answer 2

m=-2/7

Answer 3

y=2(x+2)/7
y=-2x/7 -4/7

Answer 4

is that it or does it go more

Answer 5

\[y=\frac{ -2 }{ 7 }\frac{ -4 }{ 7 }\]

Answer 6

nope that's it

Answer 7

the negative sign should be in line with the division sign though

Answer 8

ok thank you very much :D greatly appreciated and medal was awarded

Answer 9

Thanks!

Answer 10

ok can you help me with another problem

Answer 11

I'll try

Answer 12

ok here it is

write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through the given point AND is parallel to the given line.
(-3, 5); y= -1/2x+4
**theres also another set of points but i will give them to you after this question**

Answer 13

The parallel line is y=-1/2x+7/2

Answer 14

could you explain a little bit im kind of lost in these type of questions

Answer 15

Start with the slope intercept formula: y=mx+b

Answer 16

okay and then just add the numbers to replace the variables?

Answer 17

so m=-1/2

Answer 18

you need to find b then plug in the variables

Answer 19

and b=4

Answer 20

right?

Answer 21

b=7/2

Answer 22

what? how did you get that :/ im lost again

Answer 23

x=3 and y=5 from the points that were listed

Answer 24

you mean x = -3 not 3

Answer 25

so if m=-1/2; x=-3 and y=5 then you are going to rework the formula to solve for b.
5=(-1/2)*(-3)+b

Answer 26

yes, I meant - 3 above

Answer 27

b+3/2=5

Answer 28

b=7/2

Answer 29

oh okay i get what you did here

Answer 30

now plug in the numbers to the formula and you get y=-1/2x+7/2

Answer 31

yeah i get it now

Answer 32

but the second set of points isnt ordered like this one

Answer 33

You didn't give me a 2nd set of points. Only 1 set and a line to be parallel to

Answer 34

same question different set of pairs do you have the time to help or should i post it for someone else

Answer 35

I've got a little time

Answer 36

ok itll be quick i think

Answer 37

write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through the given point AND is parallel to the given line.
(-7, 3); x=4

Answer 38

Wow - ok. That one is done the same way but way different answer. Your m=infinity and there is no Y intercept. x=-7

Answer 39

So if you were graphing the parallel lines the would be crossing the x axis but not the y axis. So picture a line straight up and down

Answer 40

oh ok m=infinity and x=-7 and there is no y-intercept

Answer 41

yes. I posted a graph of the 2 parallel lines if that helps

Answer 42

so the parallel line is x=-7
correct?

Answer 43

yes it helps very much thanks for the effort and time

Answer 44

yes

Answer 45

You're welcome

Answer 46

well thanks again and i know you have to go so yeah if i need help and cant find it i know who to come to :D
